Pride isn't pride if it's quiet, or "select".
Terrorism works.

I guess with how well the terrorists taught us this lesson, means that we'd be even more better at it. We even learned about something called a 'Boston Tea Party' when we were little!
I guess the snowflakes need special treatment.
Cowards
Don't shop at Target. The assholes trying to appease right-wing extremists should understand that they won't be back...
Last August, CEO Brian Cornell told reporters that Target learned from the backlash and said the company would be more thoughtful about merchandise decisions for heritage months that celebrate the achievements of marginalized groups.
By thoughtful they mean not celebrating the achievements of marginalized groups.
No, they mean they will tell customers in one area they share their values and aso tell customers in another area that they share their values, even when they differ or are in direct conflict. Hopefully it backfires and they lose both.
The rightwing are such fragile, little-brained, stubborn dipshits.
Unfortunately it’s literally the way their brains are formed.
I can’t help but wonder if there is a genetic component we could weed out.
based on “guest insights and consumer research”.
Sounds like something a smart business would do.
